In the case of the present invention, a card having a predetermined card format is stored in a data processing device as a card image, and the card image is displayed on a display for processing. Each card image consists of format data as shown in Figures 1 and 2 and field contents (card data) given corresponding to fields (items) such as "Customer Name" on the card image. Please remember separately,
If necessary, both data are merged and displayed on the display. And it is assumed that it represents one real card.

The fields on the card image include character fields and numeric fields. In the format data, "..." is given to indicate the character insertion point for character fields, and "〓〓" is given to indicate the number insertion point for numeric fields.
〓, 〓〓〓” are given.

Generally, there are many cards that share format data as shown in Figures 1 and 2, so card images corresponding to these cards are grouped together into a "box" as shown in Figure 3. Introducing concepts. Symbol 1 is a card image, 2
represents box. In order to provide boxes as one processing unit, the following information (or storage unit) is prepared corresponding to each box. That is, (i) Box profile (memory section)...box number, box name, etc.

(ii) Format data (storage unit)...data corresponding to the card format (blank card) as shown in Figures 1 and 3.

(iii) Field definition information (storage unit): Field start coordinates and attributes for each field (for numeric fields, presence or absence of commas, number of digits after the decimal point, etc.).

(iv) Field name (memory part)...The name of each field.

(v) Card data (storage unit): Card data corresponding to individual card images belonging to the same box is stored in association with each page.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a mode of processing according to the present invention, and it can be considered that the display as shown in the figure is displayed on the display and the processing begins.

The screen on the display shows the cards in the first frame.
An image display, a card image display in the second frame, and an input image display for inputting processing procedures etc. can be performed together. In the case shown in Figure 4, the 7th item belonging to the box “Membership Fee Bill”
All or part 3 of the card image addressed to Mr. Osaka Furou on page 3 is placed in the first frame, and all of the card image of Mr. Fujitsu Taro on page 7 belonging to the box ``Membership Fee Deposit Slip'' is placed in the first frame. Alternatively, part 4 is displayed together in the second frame (hereinafter sometimes referred to as split display). Input image 5 is displayed, and the second field of the "Claim amount" field, which is the field on the card image in the second frame, is displayed.
It instructs to transfer the contents of the row to the field "Current Request" on the card image in the first frame.

In the case of the data processing apparatus to which the present invention is applied, the operator can sequentially create and register contents such as the illustrated input image 5. By pressing the execution key, the input image 5
Actual processing is executed at high speed based on the contents registered as processing procedures in a form corresponding to the above.

FIG. 5 shows the process of creating a processing procedure corresponding to the input image 5 shown in FIG. In addition, Figures A to E in the illustrations show how to delete the information when inputting the processing procedure on one card image by erroneously inputting the ``-'' (quantity x ``unit price =''). .

FIG. 5A shows the display at the time when a predetermined card image is displayed in the first frame and when the user presses the "=" key, it is realized that "unit price=" is inputted incorrectly. Note that 7 in the figure represents an actual cursor according to the present invention, 8 represents a procedure cursor according to the present invention, and 9 represents an overlapping display mark of the actual cursor and the procedure cursor.

After deleting in this manner, when the frame switching key is pressed, the actual cursor 7 and the procedure cursor 8 are separated as shown in FIG. 5E. As a result, the operator creates a processing procedure by moving the actual cursor 7 to any desired field.

Note that the actual cursor 7 is managed separately for one corresponding to the first frame and one corresponding to the second frame, and indicates the field to be processed in each card image. Also, step cursor 8
indicates the input position on the input image.

Although not shown in the diagram, if you are trying to process the card image displayed in the first frame (specified using the frame switching key), only the card image in the first frame will be processed. A real cursor is displayed and the real cursor on the card image in the second frame disappears. Furthermore, each card image in the first frame and the second frame can be scrolled independently. Further, the size of each of the first frame and the second frame can be increased or decreased as necessary, and at this time, the sizes of the other frames are decreased or increased accordingly.

FIG. 6 shows an aspect of the search process, in which one card image (one of a plurality of images is sufficient) is displayed as a result of the illustrated search process corresponding to the processing procedure. represents the state. For the illustrated search, (i) the address is "Setagaya-ku"
, (ii) the gender is "female", (iii) the age is "between 20 and 30", and (iv) the furigana of the name starts with "to". Instructing.

Needless to say, in addition to the above-mentioned search, sorting processing, card verification processing, etc. can also be performed. FIG. 7 shows a mode in which the same process is performed on multiple fields on multiple cards.
In the illustrated case, the instruction is to perform the process Quantity x Unit Price = Amount for item names 1 to 10 on pages 1 to 30 of the card, and calculate the total for each item.

As explained in connection with FIG. 3, the box is
It holds an entire group of card images with common card format data, as shown in the figure.
It has at least form data, field definition information, and card data. This box is created by the operator on the screen of the display 11, and the format analysis unit 15 uses the results of entering characters into each field using the kana-kanji conversion function in the data entry processing unit 16. It is created by That is, a box is created by collecting format data as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, determining definition information and field names for each field, and organizing card data for each card into pages. These created boxes are stored and maintained on the floppy disk 12, but the boxes 20 and 20 are stored on the main memory as necessary for processing.
-1 to 20-n.

The illustration format specification control section 13 shown in FIG. 8 controls the display on the basis of the loaded boxes and handles the above-mentioned process such as box creation. The illustrated card creation management section 14 instructs the data entry processing section 16 in creating the boxes described above, but its main function is to instruct the procedure registration control section 17 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. The procedure execution control unit 1 registers processing procedures such as
9 to execute the process based on the contents of the process procedure storage unit 18. Meanwhile, necessary boxes are loaded into the main memory, unnecessary boxes are stored on the floppy disk 12, and an instruction is given to the box selection section 21 to switch the boxes.

In the present invention, the necessary boxes 20-1 to 20-n are mainly loaded on the main memory,
Based on this, the procedure registration control unit 17 and the procedure execution control unit 19 register processing procedures. Therefore, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 showing the main structure of one embodiment of the portions directly related to the present invention.

In FIG. 9, the symbols 10, 11, 18, 20-
1, . . . 20-n, 21 correspond to FIG.
Reference numeral 25 denotes a procedure instruction control unit, which initiates control based on key input from the keyboard 10. Reference numeral 26 denotes a frame switching control unit which selects a frame on the side of the card image where processing will be performed for the time being regarding the frames 3 and 4 explained in connection with FIG. 4 among the card images displayed on the display 11. A process of switching the frame 3 and a process of changing the boundary position between the first frame 3 and the second frame 4 as necessary is performed. To switch the frame, check the "frame number where the cursor is located" in the cursor position information holding unit 31.
33, and the above-mentioned box selection unit 21 is notified of this.

Reference numeral 27 is a page instruction control unit that performs processing corresponding to a page specified by the page switching key. On the display 11, as shown in FIG.
data is merged and displayed, and the second frame 4
Assume that the card images belonging to box 20-n are similarly merged and displayed above. When a new page is specified in this state,
The relevant page is the cursor position information holding unit 31
``Page number where the cursor is located'' 34 is set corresponding to each frame, and in response to this, the page selection control unit 41 is activated to extract the page in the box displayed in the frame, and to display the page on the card. The data is transferred to the display unit 39. That is, the card image displayed within the frame is changed (the pages within the same box are changed).

28 is a cursor movement control unit,
When the cursor (actual cursor) is moved by the cursor movement key, the cursor position information holding unit 31 detects the new cursor position.
The "field number where the cursor is located" 32 is set corresponding to each frame. Then, a cursor is displayed by the actual cursor display unit 36, and based on the field number, the field definition information and field name of the corresponding field are extracted by the field definition information search unit 40 and used for processing. Needless to say, if the field is located at a position that is not displayed on the display screen, scrolling will be performed within the above-mentioned frame by vertical scrolling processing or horizontal scrolling processing.

Reference numeral 29-1 is an operator key control unit which is activated in response to registration of a calculation processing procedure. Also 2
9-2 is a search key control unit; 29-p
is a list creation key control unit, which is activated when registering the corresponding processing procedure.

30-1 is a calculation formula display control unit that displays operator keys determined to be valid by the operator key control unit 29-1, field names extracted from the field definition information search unit 40, Based on the box number, a processing procedure is created in the form of an image on the display 11, such as the input image 5 shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, and this is displayed on the display 11. That is, as processing procedures are created sequentially,
Input image 5 is displayed. During this time, the procedure editing control unit 37 controls the movement of the procedure cursor. Further, insertion, addition, deletion, replacement, etc. of procedures are performed while displaying the procedure cursor 8 and mark 9. The display of the procedure cursor 8 can be thought of as the procedure cursor display control unit 38 managing the procedure cursor position.

30-2 is a search condition display control unit;
Reference numeral 30-p is a list creation procedure display control unit that performs processing to display input images corresponding to the search key control unit 29-1 and list creation key control unit 29-p.

Reference numeral 35 is a procedure code assembly processing unit, which sequentially creates the above-mentioned input images, as explained in relation to the operator key control unit 29-1 and the calculation formula display control unit 30-1. Correspondingly, processing procedure codes are sequentially assembled based on operators, field definition information, box numbers, page numbers, field numbers, and frame numbers. That is, as the above processing procedure is displayed as an input image, the processing procedure is written in a code format that is easy to execute by the procedure execution control section 19 shown in FIG. Then, the assembly result is checked by the operator in the form of a display of the input image, and if it is correct, it is stored in the procedure storage section 18. That is, for example, if the processing procedure is given unit price x quantity = total, the procedure storage unit 18
For each address, "i-th address (Unit price field number and box number) (i+1) address ([x] operator code) (i+2) address (quantity field number and box number) (i+3)-th address ( [=] operator code) (i+4)th address (total field number and box number)". The contents of each of these addresses are
When executed by the procedure execution control unit 19 shown in FIG. 8, they are sequentially read out and executed while extracting necessary field contents from necessary boxes.

In FIG. 9, the boxes loaded in the main memory may be set in such a way that the same box is loaded into two respective frames, or different boxes may be set in a form in which different boxes are loaded into two respective frames. You can also set it with . For this purpose, the processing performed by registering the above procedure is (i) processing between field contents on a single card image, (ii) processing between different card images belonging to a single box. Processing between field contents of (different pages) (iii) Processing between field contents of card images belonging to different boxes can be registered.

The row search process according to the present invention will be explained using the case shown in FIG. 10 as an example. When the unit price of a certain item changes depending on the number of units sold, This process is used when creating an estimate while searching for unit prices by quantity. In other words, the product name and quantity are displayed on the card image of the quote box.
Check the unit price when the quantity is a from the table and find b
This corresponds to the process of determining yen and writing b yen in the unit price field on the card image of the quote box.

This process of checking the contents of multiple fields on a card image is called row search processing, and the first step is
On the input image 5 shown in Figure 0, "04 Line search Quantity or more and Quantity < Less than Page range 1 (1: Displayed page only, 2: All pages 05 Unit price 01 = Unit price 01 06 Line search completed" (A ).

FIG. 11 shows a specific example configuration for performing this process. Numbers 12, 17, 1 in the diagram
8, 19, and 20 correspond to FIGS. 8 and 9, and the procedure code corresponding to the process shown as input image 5 in FIG. 10 is registered in the procedure storage unit 18. That is, when the row search and its condition designation are given from the procedure registration control section 17 to the row search condition designation control unit 42, this unit 42 registers this together with the conditions on the procedure storage section 18. Further, when the row search state cancellation designation is given to the row search state cancellation designation control unit 43, the unit 43 registers this fact. In this way above (A)
A procedure code corresponding to the expression is registered.

Next, when the procedure execution control section 19 activates the procedure execution, each code is sequentially read out from the procedure storage section 18 and transferred to the corresponding execution unit via the route 44, and the corresponding process is executed. At this time, the position from which each code is read is indicated by the procedure pointer 45. When the row search code and its condition code are read from the procedure storage section 18, the row search execution control unit 46 is activated. The unit 46 receives the code and (i) learns from the display in the example shown in Figure 10 that the product price list box corresponds;
In addition, in the present example, since it is known that the process is for the product with product name 01 on the quotation, the page switching unit 47 is instructed to process the product name "***" that belongs to the product price list box. Transfer the card data to floppy disk 1.
Record buffer 48- on main memory from above 2
(ii) Receives the coordinate position of the repeating field etc. from the field definition information 49-i regarding the product price list box, (iii) Loads the contents of the record buffer 48-i loaded into the main memory. After receipt, a search is performed according to the search condition: "Quantity or more and quantity < less than page range 1 (1: only the currently displayed page 2: all pages)".

(iv) Also during this time, the row search state flip-flop 50-i is set.

(v) Now, if the quantity is a, and there is a unit price b yen that satisfies the condition "more than a and less than a", the line A conversion code giving "unit price 01→unit price 04" is set on the conversion table 51-i.

After the row search execution control unit 46 operates as described above, the above-mentioned procedure code "unit price 01=unit price 01" is read from the procedure storage section 18 and passes through the route 52. At this time, as described above, since the conversion code "unit price 01 → unit price 04" is set on the row conversion table 51-i and the row search state flip-flop 50-i is set, In the line number conversion unit 53, the read procedure code is converted into "unit price 04=unit price 01" and supplied to the execution unit. In this execution unit, the sub-box (
Transfer the contents of "unit price" (b yen) in the 4th line on the card image displayed on the product price list box (corresponding to the product price list box) to the 1st line on the main box (for product name 01). .

Next, the row search end code is read from the procedure storage unit 18. This activates the row search cancellation execution control unit 54 and resets the row search state flip-flop 50-i.

In the case of the process shown in Figure 10, since "02 line repeat product name 01 to product name 10" and "08 line repeat end" are given, the product name number "01" on the card image on the main box side is given. The same unit price determination process as above will be performed for each product name row from product name number "10" to product name number "10".

In the above description, as shown in FIG. 10, it is assumed that the price list has "more than" and "less than" written in one line. However, in some cases, the price list may be written as, for example, 980 yen for less than 50 items, 960 yen for less than 100 items, etc. In this case, the mutual relationship between the two rows above and below is used, and conversion codes for the two rows can be given to the row conversion table 51-i.

Although the term box is used above, the term should be interpreted broadly.
It goes without saying that this refers to a collection of information that falls under the above boxes, including files, for example.

(F) Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, it becomes possible to process a group of cards having a common format as a box, and separate each card image into format data and card data. You can store them, merge them, and output them as needed. Further, card images can be displayed in a sprint display format as needed, and processing procedures to be processed can be sequentially created and registered. In addition, it is now possible to search for lines that have content that satisfies the search conditions across multiple lines, and it is also possible to specify field contents that are not explicitly displayed in the field on the card image to perform processing. It becomes possible.
